ODESSA, Wash., Aug. 21 UP)
The Big Bend wheat country,
whose rippling grain fields shell
out each year a big crop of
premium wheat, is auffering,
warehouse operators say, from a
railroad car ahortage that has
forced them to take a chance on
the weather and pile wheat on
the ground in many places.
A striking example is found
at the Lauer siding south of here
where a spout from the top of a
glutted elevator has spit out on
the ground a great glistening
mound of wheat valued at $371,

SUBSIDY PLAN
TO OPERATE
BEFORE FULL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (IP)
Ranking officials predicted to
day that the administration's
new cost of living subsidy plan
will be in operation before con
gress returns next month but it
will be necessary for the law
makers to provide the where
withal. Because existing subsidies
were spared the congressional
ax only through a presidential
veto, the expectation had grown
here that the administration
would sidestep further subsidies
without an okay by congress.
However, since James F.
Byrnes, director of war mobil
ization, has promised a substan
tial cut in the cost of living,
other officials let it be known
that a new subsidy plan Is about
to be unveiled.
While details are highly se
cret, it is estimated the cost to
the government will range from
$300,000,000 to over $1,000,000,-
000. Apparently, the present
meat and butter subsidies will
continue on their present 10 per
cent basis. The new program is
expected to deal largely with
vegetables. Potatoes, for in
stance, seem a likely candidate
for government-financed price
reduction.
One official who should know
suggested the new program
will contain a little of every
thing," meaning direct subsidies,
government purchase and re-sale-at-loss
operations, and other
devices.
The idea is for the govern
ment to buy all or nearly all
of a crop at a handsome price,
to encourage maximum farm
production, and then to resell it
to the trade at a price that
won't break the consumer's
back.
While admittedly a variation
of direct subsidies, this has what
many officials regard as special
advantages.
